This project and movement piece aims to be a non-linear exploration of varying physical capabilities in expression.

When Good Men Do Nothing: When Good Men Do Nothing (performance), The Cellar Theatre - What does evil sound like? Bombs? Bigotry? Blasphemy? When Good Men Do Nothing is a collection of six almost-monologues exploring the theme of evil and the consequences of not speaking up when something is wrong.
